<p class="MsoPlainText">June continues to be damp and at least 10 degrees under the historical temperature at our monthly birding site, the JBLM Eagles Pride GC. On Thursday, June 16, rain held off until just before noon when the 13 of us reached our cars at
the end of our trek: then the rain started bucketing down – talk about good timing to finish up what was a delightful, but yet again chilly Spring day (46degF-58degF).
